Japanese term or phrase: Ja Ne
A fond friend said this to me. I'm curious as to the meaning of "ja ne" which I believe is Japanese. Thanks.

Later, see ya, bye
Explanation:
"Ja ne" does not really mean a lot but it is written at the end of mails or when parting (generally assuming that those parting will meet or speak, or write again). It is an informal parting that is only used with friends. Literally it meads something like "well hey."
